Seire Takes From Buhaiov

Frank Visser

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov raised his Q♥3♥ to 240,000 in the cutoff, and found one caller in Casimir Seire on the button, who played A♥10♥.

The 3♣A♣10♠ flop hit both players. Buhaiov decided to check, after which Seire bet 250,000. Buhaoiv called with his bottom pair, seeing the 6♣ turn emerge from the deck afterward.

Seire sized up to 800,000 after Buhaiov's second check. Buhaiov had seen enough and laid his hand down, granting the pot to Seire.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

It folded to Enrico Coppola in the small blind, who limped in with Q♠Q♣. Tomas Jozonis raised his 10♥3♣ to 420,000 in the big blind, but quickly folded when Coppola three-bet to 1,425,000.

On the next deal, Felix Schneiders found A♥J♥ in early position and raised to 240,000. Nazar Buhaiov called in the big blind holding A♣9♦, and the players saw a flop of A♠10♦8♣.

After Buhaiov checked, Schneiders continued for 180,000. Buhaoiv tossed in some calling chips, and the dealer placed the 3♦ on the turn.

Buhaiov checked a second time. Schneiders used one of his time banks in the middle before settling on a sizing of 425,000. Buhaiov called again, and the 3♠ river completed the board.

A third check followed from Buhaoiv, prompting Schneiders to virtually move all in with a bet of 875,000. Buhaiov correctly mucked his cards within his 30-second shot clock, sending the pot Schneider's way.

The next hand, Abreu opened to 240,000 on the button with K♦5♣ before Gogniat shoved for the third hand in a row, making it 1,390,000 in the small blind with A♣9♣. Abreu once again gave up his hand.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov looked down at his cards in early position and raised to 200,000. Jorge Abreu called on the button, and Enrico Coppola defended in the big blind.

After two checks, Abreu made a minimum bet of 100,000. Both opponents called, after which the A♣ appeared on the turn.

Coppola checked in flow, but Buhaoiv decided to lead out for 325,000. Abreu was going nowhere and called, while Coppola decided to fold his K♥7♥.

The J♦ river slowed down the action as Buhaiov and Abreu checked it to showdown. Buhaiov tabled Q♥J♥ for a rivered pair, but Abreu had top pair with A♦3♦ to scoop yet another pot.

Seire Rivers Nuts Against Abreu

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Casimir Seire found J♦10♥ in the cutoff and raised to 200,000. It folded to Jorge Abreu in the big blind, who called with 10♠8♦. Abreu checked the Q♣2♥8♣ flop over to Seire before calling his continuation-bet of 150,000.

The A♦ turn saw Seire size up to 600,000. Abreu still had confidence in his pair of eights and called to the K♠ river. Having rivered a straight, Seire spent one time bank before he virtually moved all in by betting 1,900,000.

Abreu gave it some thought, but ultimately gave up on the idea of hero-calling and folded his hand.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jorge Abreu was in early position and made it 200,000 to go. Casimir Seire flat-called in the small blind, and big blind Felix Schneiders also came along.

The blinds checked the 5♥Q♣Q♥ flop over to Abreu, who continued for the minimum of 100,000. Seire pushed in a raise to 350,000 before Schneiders mucked his 6♦4♦.

However, Abreu was undeterred and called to the 5♠ turn, where Seire flicked in another 350,000. Abreu called again, leading to the 9♦ river completing the board.

Serie slowed down and checked. Abreu checked behind, and he won the pot with his A♠9♥, having rivered the higher two pair against Seire's 8♠8♥.
